Fly and the Fly-Bottle
Reeks: Penguin Modern Classics
Ved Mehta
- Fly
- and
- the
- Fly
- Bottle
- is
- perhaps
- Ved
- Mehta's
- masterpiece:
- a
- collection
- of
- his
- brilliantly
- revealing
- conversations
- with
- some
- of
- the
- twentieth
- century's
- most
- important
- philosophers.
- Engaging
- with
- such
- heavyweights
- as
- Isaiah
- Berlin,
- Gilbert
- Ryle,
- and
- Elizabeth
- Anscombe,
- Mehta
- is
- not
- only
- able
- to
- shed
- light
- on
- the
- personalities
- involved
- in
- shaping
- modern
- philosophy,
- as
- well
- as
- on
- the
- particularities
- of
- that
- philosophic
- thought,
- but
- also
- to
- minutely
- examine
- the
- surrounding
- atmosphere
- of
- mid-century
- British life.
